Chapter 503 - Signs of pregnancy (1/2)
After lunch, Liu Shuang sent Feng Jianyu and Xiu Mei to their room to take some rest.
”Oww.... Mummmaa….” The moment the door was closed, and she was alone with Feng Jianyu, Xiu Mei clutched her stomach and sat down on the floor. ”How can they force me to eat that much?”
”You should come here often; at least you'll be able to put on some flesh on your bones.” Saying he picked her up from the floor.
She was about to retort, but then suddenly her stomach churned and her throat contract as if something was surging up her throat. She covered her mouth, squirmed in Feng Jianyu's arms to get down and sprinted into the bathroom.
Feng Jianyu followed her but as he entered the bathroom, he saw Xiu Mei sank to her knees, leaning over the toilet, making retching sounds as the chunks of partially digested food spewed out of her coughing.
”Mei,” He crouched down beside her, patting her back, holding her falling hair at the back of her head. He saw her heaving again and once more the creamy chyme from her stomach propelled from her mouth.
Her face was ghastly pale! Her eyes a watery mess! With some of the vomit still trailing from her lips, viscous and opaque, she turned her head to Jianyu still breathing heavily and said one word. ”Water.”
”I'll be right back.” He hurried back to the room and came with a glass of water. By the time Xiu Mei has moved away from the toilet seat and was now standing facing the washbasin. ”Here…” She rinsed her mouth and took two sips.
Jianyu made her lie on the bed, ”I'll call Zian.” Before he could take another step, she held his hand.
”No… This is shameful. I'm in this condition because of overeating, everyone will laugh at me.”
”Silly, think of your health first.” He scolded her yet touched her pale cheek gently.
”Then you do it. Haven't you learned Chinese medicine from your grandmother?” She said, making a puppy face that he can never resist.
He pinched the space between his brows and sighed, ”Let me check your pulse then.” She instantly forwards her wrist.
A minute passed!
Feng Jianyu: ”Show me your other wrist.”
Another minute passed!
Seeing her husband's serious expression Xiu Mei gulped. What is it?
”J-Jianyu…..”
”Shhh… quiet.”
Feng Jianyu fished out his phone and checked something.
He frowned, and stared at his wife's face for a minute, deep in thought. Subconscious he glanced down at her stomach.
”Mei, let's go to the hospital first.”
”Hold on! Hold on!” He was about to pick her when she placed her hand on his chest. ”Isn't it just gastroenteritis? Instead of going to the hospital why not give me any herbal medicine? I'm sure after a night's rest I'll be fine.”
”No… we should get it checked. Try to understand, I'm a poor man, dependent on you. For my sake, let's get it checked. What if it's something serious, that might take months to heal?”
Xiu Mei ”…”'Poor man, my ass.'
